Kind of weird for people to be saying they like this, but not metal in general. It's pretty extreme to the point that if you can get into this, you should theoretically be able to get into others. Every rising metal fan needs a gateway band or two to open their eyes to everything the genre has to offer.
Yes, my thoughts as well. It is a bit strange that non-metal fans like this. This is apart of extreme metal. It's intense, very fast and vicious, something you would think would push away non-metallers. It's nice to know this is a gateway band, though, to bring in new listeners.
@And Violate If you're referring to me, then, no. I think they are fully capable of understanding it. They may choose not to. As for in the moment? I don't honestly care if they don't understand it or can read into it's meanings. It's most likely because I don't find it hard to figure out things like music.
@And Violate this actually isn't in my top or anything, I can't really claim to understand it in a profound way. I'm mostly just shocked that some non-metal listeners heard this, and it stuck for them. 10 years ago if someone who didn't like metal heard a band they'd end up enjoying, it would be a nu-metal or metalcore band with a lot of verse/chorus/verse structures and clean singing.
I can probably speak for them. I listen to various metal acts, but I'm by no means a "metalhead". I'm superrrr picky with metal. This album is much more melodic than most other metal albums, but less hyperfocused on Melody and less "cheesy" then most "melodic metal" bands. The best way I can describe this band is "musician's" or "music fanatic's" metal, if that makes sense.
@@eingyi2500 I see what you're getting at. It's almost technical melodeath in a way. Super progressive and technical, but just melodic enough to stand out from the crowd of various death metal bands trying be the heaviest, and most brutal. All the while avoiding being so melodic it contradicts the idea of death metal. Where casual music listeners can easily grasp the idea of bands like Soilwork and In flames, critical listening non-metalheads may still prefer something as tasteful as this.
I can hear some of Chuck Shuldiner's unfinished ideas coming to full fruition on this album; especially on 'Golgothan Tongues.' A glorious achievement by this band.
Love when people like Anthony Fantano help expose some more underground heavy metal bands for the fanbase to bring it up to some more prominence. I'm a huge metalhead so if anyone has any questions that came from that video but aren't usually into this type of music hit me up! :)
Any fast and melodic death metal records like this with deeper, more guttural vocal performance. To my ears, the vocals on this record sound pained (not that that’s a bad thing), while I’m lookin for more imposing, less “human” sounding vocals? If that makes sense?
A hyperfocused platter of chaos, Horrendous deliver their tightest and most mature set of destruction to date, quickly ascending into the pantheon of current death metal legends.
some people just can't decide that something is good without the reassurance of their melon overlord, Anthony Fantano of theNeedledrop. They did this on the new Portal album too.
@@MrKgroves so what. It brought us here, and to many more beautiful places. Melon is a great filter for people who don't wanna dig trough the trash like me.
you're right, he has divulged this music to a crowd of people who are too afraid to venture out on there own. i'm sorry, but do the lot of you have to be so goddamn annoying about it? can't they just comment about something they like about the music without being a direct quote from anthony? cultivate your own tastes and try to find new music on your own, it's *literally half the fun* of being a music lover. and you don't have to call yourself trash, hunny. I'm sure you're a decent person.
@@MrKgroves I didn't call myself trash but said that people don't wanna dig trough trash music to get to the good stuff.

I bought that album, I'm totally addicted to it, one of my all-time favorite records. Amazingly sick and beautiful. A personnal top-five of the decade. Philosopher Wittgenstein talked about the indicible, the mystic... Yeah, my reactions to this album are at this level. Venez à Montréal !
This album really delivers. I've already heard Soothsayer, Idolater and Devotion like 100 times since they were singles, but the deep cuts in here are just as killer. The bass work is at a new level on this album and the riffs are just madness.
That bass gives me some classical tech death vibes while still bringing something new tothe table. Also overall great album. I'd almost callthis blackened tech death
So I was actually referring to the vocal style from Soothsayer when I wrote this. I actually really love how much the vocal style gets mixed up throughout this. Each song sounds dramatically different from the last, yet they absolutely feel connected
Emptiness Ensconce me In a bible black sigh Absorb my tribute My abject need Robed in flesh Assuage my malaise, my lust to create With displays of teeth, devour me To extract my being I trade blood for ink Vivisection complete Commit me to memory I'll be a frail utterance cutting deep Bones eroded, shaped into effigy Make me a siren's song Make me a monument to suffering Face to the pavement Wrest me free Will you place me upon the altar? A thirst for permanence? An ego to sate? Envy's firm grasp? Commit me to memory Commit me Amongst settled dust I breathe aromas of midnight Sense the marrow's gentle pulse I'm free Then a tickling in the throat An ache wells from within Vessels Constrict I'm in the grip of angst again Free me
Probps for Not having the vocals louder than anything else & setting them back slightly in the mix. Really lets the music work its magic. all sounds good
Guys, this album is a masterpiece. I got electrified by Anareta, but this is next level. Chuck Schuldiner would be proud. I hope that your band isn't over because of all the Covid measures. Get back to us with a new album someday, will you?!
WHY HAS NOBODY SHOWN THIS TO ME UNTIL NOW?? THOSE VOCALS ARE SO FUCKING SICK AND THE BASS WTF IS THIS. ITS LIKE HEARING DEATH FOR THE FIRST TIME BUT WITH A WHOLE NEW FRESH TAKE ON WHAT DEATH SOUNDED LIKE
This is one of my fav modern metal bands. The vocals are just horrendous, they give me this unsettling nervous feeling like im in some cosmic horror nightmare, probably my fav newer extreme vocalist, sounds very fresh. Love the guitar work as well. Probably Horrendous, Vektor, Blood Incantation and Inter Arma are my 4 shiny stars of the modern era of mediocrity.
Shit congrats on a good album. Damn. It's unique hard and, sounds like notes of new stuff, 90s stuff like speed metal and hints of old Mastodon and dystopia. It's hard for me to get into alot of metal these days cause they all sound nearly the same. A+++
Everyone is giving Death al of the credit, but as much as I like Death, listen to Atheist Unquestionable Presence and tell me this sounds nothing like it. Horrendous is badass, right there next to Vektor and Black Fast.
I for one am very intrigued by this release.. And the Atheist comparison is harmonically on, old school note worthy riffing, and leads that soumd like Rand Burkey (almost to a T).... Vocals that sound like Chuck and Benton in certain spots..... Though not as innovative as the obvious, DM needed this tech release that i would call as close to a masterpiece of technical old school DM ive heard in over 25 yrs!! Heres to Horrendous.. Fkn killer!!
every new album of horrendous has been better, but in this one there is a lot of concern for the technical detail; his best work ... greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

That bass gives me some classical tech death vibes while still bringing something new tothe table. Also overall great album. I'd almost callthis blackened tech death
I always loved Death Metal - this album just made me fully realize it. Been listening to this non-stop for over two years already..
Same here, this album is an absolute masterpiece.
They just came out with a new one
This is one of the most beautiful death metal albums I've ever heard.

@@gavvyg4507 mine was avenged sevenfold city of evil
@@gavvyg4507 Was thinking the exact same thing
If you like this you should check out the bands Cynic, Atheist, and Death. They pretty much started this kind of tech/progressive death metal.
Man. My first was Black Sabbath's Paranoid. Based on that information, Slayer still seems like a pretty heavy starting point.
Just jaw-dropping. They’ve outdone themselves. Faster, heavier, crisper, more complex than even Anareta. I am gobsmacked.
This? Fast? Naww..
I actually hear a lot of Atheist influence, especially in Soothsayer.
Atheist all over. Loved It.

Absorb my tribute

Robed in flesh
Assuage my malaise, my lust to create
With displays of teeth, devour me
To extract my being
I trade blood for ink
Vivisection complete
Commit me to memory
I'll be a frail utterance cutting deep
Bones eroded, shaped into effigy
Make me a siren's song
Make me a monument to suffering
Face to the pavement
Wrest me free
Will you place me upon the altar?
A thirst for permanence?
An ego to sate?
Envy's firm grasp?
Commit me to memory
Commit me
Amongst settled dust
I breathe aromas of midnight
Sense the marrow's gentle pulse
I'm free
Then a tickling in the throat
An ache wells from within
Vessels Constrict
I'm in the grip of angst again
Free me
The best song on the album IMO! 🤘🤘🤘
